Rep. Dusty Johnson, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing South Dakota’s at-large district since 2019, recently addressed several legislative topics through his social media posts. These tweets provide insights into his stance on various policy issues.

On May 20, 2025, Rep. Johnson emphasized improvements to the adoption tax credit by stating that "It makes the adoption tax credit more usable for families." This indicates a focus on facilitating financial support for adoptive families.

In another post on the same day, he expressed opposition to certain medical procedures funded by taxpayers by asserting that "It prohibits taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors." This highlights his position on restricting government spending in this area.

Furthermore, Rep. Johnson criticized components of environmental policy related to electric vehicles and clean energy initiatives. He declared that "It terminates Green New Deal giveaways for EV chargers and luxury 'clean vehicles.'" His statement suggests an effort to reevaluate or eliminate subsidies perceived as excessive or misdirected within these sectors.

Dusty Johnson was born in Pierre, South Dakota in 1976 and now resides in Mitchell. He graduated from the University of South Dakota with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1999.
